Private Parking

Description

At INRIA, the private parking facility spans an area of 85 meters by 13 meters and is naturally enclosed by plants and trees, creating a semi-structured, forest-like environment. This makes it an ideal outdoor space for conducting development, testing, and validation experiments with Autonomous Ground Robots (AGRs) and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). Its dynamic setting bridges the gap between controlled indoor testing and fully unstructured field environments, allowing for safe and effective experimentation under realistic outdoor conditions.
